27、 ""May I speak with Jeanne Kerr?" I said, crossing my fingers
"Who's asking?" the voice rose.
“It's Regina Louise, I think we may've met "I don't believe so," the stranger said, hanging up the phone.
I crossed out another Jeanne from my long list. The first time I met Jeanne was May 1, 1975 at Edgar Children's Shelter where I was disliked by all the social workers except Jeanne.
The last time I saw Jeanne was in 1977. I was 15 years old, standing in a courtroom (法 庭)，asking the court to allow Jeanne Kerr to adopt (收养)me. However, Jeanne's request to adopt me was refused because she was white and I was black. Then 1 was placed in a treatment center for disturbed girls .
By 2002, at age 40, I operated two successful hair salons. I wrote a book about my early teenage years from 13 to 15, a story that followed me through meeting Jeanne and losing her.
One evening, I checked my email and came across the words: "I am so proud of you, sweetheart!" My heart stopped. I opened the email, and it was from Jeanne . An old co-worker of hers had read my book and called Jeanne to tell her "Your Regina is looking for you.”
I dialed the number given in the email immediately. We chatted a lot excitedly. At last, she told me, “I want to make you my daughter.
Three weeks later, I stood in the same courtroom where Jeanne's first request to adopt me had been refused. After the judge told us to live with and love one another as mother and daughter for the rest of our lives, I turned to Jeanne and whispered, "Thank you 一 Mommy 一 for loving me, when no one else could."

C. Because Regina found her mother.
D. Because Regina behaved badly.

28、Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund (基金).
For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions. How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
【1】What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A．Saving up for her holiday
B．Raising money for a poor girl money
C．Adding the money to her fund
D．Giving the money to a sick mother
【2】Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A．To try out an idea.
B．To show a parent’s love
C．To train his attention.
D．To help him start a hobby
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Take it or Leave it
B．A Lesson from Kids
C．The Pleasure of Giving
D．Live More with Less
29、 Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music. He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments. He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written, recorded and played.
In 1957, Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. At the time, he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. His computer program was called Music. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen-second piece of music that he had written.
The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds. For that reason, Mathews moved the work to a tape player, which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.
The science fiction writer Arthur C.Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song “Daisy Bell” on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later made into a movie.
Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances. He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton. The device looks like two drum sticks. It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music played on a computer. The user does this by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.
Max Mathews believed modern musicians are not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin. But with a computer, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music. But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.

【2】Why did Mathews turn to a tape player？
A.It was of light weight.
B.Its sound was of great quality.
C.It could play the music faster than the computer.
D.It could play more pieces of music than the computer.
【3】Why did Max Mathews’ Music appear in Clarke’s book?
A.The book dealt with music. B.Music added sound to the book.
C.The book was recorded by Music. D.Music was a new invention at that time.
【4】What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A.Devices and programs Max Mathews created.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.
For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.
Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.
Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.
Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.
Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.
Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.
This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.
There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
